OK, I'll AW this weekend

I ran the St. Pat's 5K and shave a little over 3 minutes off my time from last year, making my new year's resolution a reality.  YAY! :)

One other AWESOME thing to mention - I do radiation again in May - I start quarantine on May 9th and I'll know on May 12th if I have still have cancer.  I have to do the same crappy diet again, starting April 11th and slowly come off my thyroid meds, in preparation for the radiation.  So I called my endo, because unlike last time I will be working up to the day I go on quarantine, and my office is scheduling a very large party with lots of big-wigs for May 4th.  JOY!  I wanted to know if coming off the meds is:

a. Easier - You've been through it once and you know what to expect so it's not as bad the second time around.
b. The Same - You've been through it once and it's no different the second time around.
c. Harder - You've been through it once, your body knows what's coming, and it shuts down quicker.

They said EASIER!!  YAY!!!!
